JEC Group have brought toge­ther the international community of composites leaders and executives in our Composites Circle as an unique networking opportunity to meet with both peers and future partners.

The world of composites is young, dynamic and quickly growing into a vast range of segments, markets, applications and technologies.

To learn more about it, JEC Group proposes a wide range of publications that will allow you to learn all about the trends and forecasts of the composites industry, and about the key players from the sector.

JEC Group has published a new book « Overview of the global composites market - at the crossroads ». An in-depth analysis of the composites market and the materials’ potential, the book also highlights the challenges that lie ahead in the sector.

The industry sectors, users of non-renewable fibers, are now engaged in an eco-design approach. Structured to meet the demand of the Industry, JEC Group, the CELC’s European Scientific Committee and its industry’s R&D teams coordinated the first scientific book about the composite solutions natural fibers. « Flax and Hemp, a natural solution for the composite industry ».

Cobalt-free product line for hand lay-up applications

News International-French

JEC Europe 2015 - DSM is launching a highly innovative drinking water relining solution that is clean, efficient and sustainable, competing well with conventional dig-and-replace solutions.

The European drinking water networks built in the 1950s and 1960s are increasingly reaching the end of their functional life, so operators are taking action to guarantee their water supply networks are fit for the future.

DSM is launching a highly innovative drinking water relining solution that is clean, efficient and sustainable, competing well with conventional dig-and-replace solutions. The system is based on DSM’s Beyone™ 700-N-01 FC, a label-free, styrene-free resin derived from raw materials that are on the “positive list” for food contact, and manufactured in line with GMP. At JEC 2015, DSM will present the benefits of the new resin and highlight some of the recent successes in commercial installations.

With the increasing environmental pressure on cobalt carboxylates, customers are looking for cobalt-free resin systems that provide great end-use performance, excellent processing and are truly sustainable. DSM will also present its novel cobalt-free product line for hand lay-up applications.

The new Beyone™ 185, 170 and 177 resin series are based on vinyl ester, ortho and DCPD chemistries respectively. Different resins are available for a broad range of applications with specific levels of reactivity, and may also have low styrene emission (LSE) functionality. These new pre-accelerated product series are all ready to use, robust in processing and allow the manufacture of composite components with the right functional properties. All these cobalt-free product series are BluCure™ products.
